I downloaded the latest issues of the WT (they still haven't cancelled my subscription). The 10/6/17 issue has an article titled SGI President and Mrs. Ikeda Visit Nagano. It includes a tiny picture of the lovely couple seated in front of a large painting or photograph. All alone, just the two of them. The photo was taken so far away, you can't make out any details. According to the article, the visit took place in August 2017.

In the 10/13/17 issue, there's an article SGI President Ikeda and Mrs, Ikeda Visit Kanagawa Culture Center. This supposedly occurred on Sept. 21, 2017. And get this...No pictures!!!

Can you ever remember a time when Ikeda went somewhere and there wasn't a blatant photo op to document the event? He must be stuffed or frozen by now, or just propped up for enough time to show everyone he's still alive (barely).
